Strange. I thought I had fixed that in the past. Output of "pca --debug 
| grep passwd" with your original password setting in pca.conf might be 
interesting.

Hi Martin,
Apologies for the delay in getting back on this. A few other problems
came my way and my issues with PCA had to take a back seat! 
When I reset my password to the original I can still reproduce the
problem but the output from the command you recommend produces nothing
interesting I've replaced all the characters in the password with
asterisks bar the '=' character.

# ./pca.sh --debug |grep passwd
Option passwd: *****=*
